Laser treatments create controlled thermal injuries within the skin to stimulate new collagen production. This process smooths uneven texture and gradually improves scar depth. Dr. Geronemus selects laser technologies based on the scar characteristics, your skin tone, and your skin’s healing response to deliver consistent outcomes with acne scar treatment in NYC.
